AQS-NT: the eyes of the PDS-NT control system

The automatic quality assessment system AQS-NT is able to process either a whole chicken or its individual parts. The system´s strength lies in its integration with the PDS-NT product distribution system; AQS-NT is as it were the eyes of the control system.

Killing line

AQS-NT can currently be used for two different purposes. In the killing line AQS-NT determines and records the quality of whole birds 360 degrees, of a flock and can help veterinary inspectior.

Distribution or cut up line

In the distribution or cut up line line AQS-NT assesses whole birds for packing or for portioning. AQS-NT divides the broiler into eight anatomical parts. Any deviation of individual portions from standard is recognised, recorded by bird and then passed by a quick network connection to the PDS-NT control system.

Summary of the AQS-NT benefits:

  • Maximum added value by using eight individual anatomic parts
  • All-round 360 degree assessment of all products possible
  • Optimisation of product allocation
  • Easy analysis of quality of flocks and growers
